You obviously did not read what I said.

Three person and 2 person mechanics are very different. And Trail's responsibility in 2 person is not nearly the same in 3 Person. The Trail and the lead in 2 person are not on the same side of the court. So to compare the looks is really kind of silly. And if the trail is watching this play on the other side on the lane, then we have a ball watcher and he is likely missing other actions by other players. Just because the ball goes in the post, does not stop other players from setting screens, fighting for position. I feel comfortable as a Trail to let my partner take this play.

Peace
